Indy Media Watch

Indymedia was set up to fill a void in the corporate media. An idea I thought long overdue. Unfortunately, as a largely unmoderated, unrestricted medium it was promptly over-run by bigots, trolls and Nazis confusing free-speech with hate-speech. I believe the Indy Media experiment has failed. As Indymedia claims it keeps the corporate media honest, I decided it was time someone watched Indymedia instead. Be careful... You may not like what you see.

Google News and Indy Media

A quick search of Google News (note this is not Google's main search) shows that several Indymedia sites are indexed by Google News.

At the moment, this includes NYC Indymedia (previous Indy Media Watch observations including association with terrorist groups and assorted foolishness here and here), Ireland Indymedia (previous Indy Media Watch reports here and here) , Indymedia Columbia, Indymedia Canary Islands and Indymedia Argentina to name a few.

Adding this to Uruknet.info (the fiercely pro-Saddam propaganda machine) and al-Jazeera, it's nice to know Google News continues to provide a high-quality news product.

I'm not the only one who has noticed.
